MOUNT HEIGHT AND CLEARANCE
It is important to install the hood at the proper mounting height. Hoods
mounted too low could result in heat damage and fire hazard, while hoods
mounted too high will be hard to reach and will loose its performance
and efficiency.
If available, also refer to range manufacturer’s height clearance requirements
and recommended hood mounting height above range.
For the installation of this type of hood, the maximum height of the ceiling
should be between 96" (243.8 cm) and 106" (269.4 cm) when the hood stands
at 27 ½" (70 cm) over the top of the cooking surface. Some models may vary.
* For higher ceilings, you can get an extension for the chimney.

Clearance between
hood and stove:
25" (63.5 cm) to 30" (76.2 cm)
DUCTING
Duct size: a minimum of 6" (15.2 cm) round duct must be used to maintain
maximum airflow efficiency.
Flexible ducts are provided for convenience, use rigid metal ducts to
maximize airflow.
Use the calculations to get the total available duct run when using elbows,
transitions and caps.
When possible, always reduce the number of transitions and turns. If a long
duct is required, increase the duct size from 6" (15.2 cm) to 7" (17.8 cm)
or 8" (20.3 cm).
If a reducer is needed, install a long reducer instead of a short reducer.
Reduce the duct size as far away from the opening as possible. If turns
or transitions are required, install them as far away as possible from
the opening and as far apart between two as possible.
To calculate the length of duct needed, you will need to deduct each
elbow, transition, and vent.

30' (9.14 m)
Roof cap
30' (9.14 m)
e.g.: If you install 1 X roof cap + 2 X 90° 1 X 45° elbow =
30' (9.14 m) + 30' (9.14 m) + 9' (2.74 m) = 69' (21.02 m) used.
This result deducted from 100' (30.48 m) means you have 31' (9.45 m)
available for straight duct run.
INSTALLATION
Carefully remove protective film from all exterior surfaces of the hood and
chimney prior to final installation.
This range hood should be mounted directly to the support frame mounting,
where the support frame flue shall secure to the ceiling joist or framework.
WALL DRILLING AND BRACKET FIXING
1. Draw a vertical line on the supporting wall up to the ceiling, or as high
as practical, at the center of the area in which the hood will be installed.
2. Draw a horizontal line at the desired height, minimum 25" (63.5 cm)
above an electric stove or 30" (76.2 cm) above a gas stove.
3. Place the chimney mounting brackets on the wall 1/8" (0.3 cm) from the
ceiling or upper limit aligning the center with the vertical reference line.
4. Mark the wall at the center of the holes in the bracket.
5. Place the hood on the wall with the center to the vertical reference line
and make sure the bottom part of the hood aligns with the horizontal line.
6. Mark the wall at the center of the holes in the hood.
7. Fix the bracket and hood using the mounting screws.
MOUNTING THE HOOD BODY
1. Hook the body onto the screws in the wall.
2. Balance the hood body by slightly adjusting the hood mounting screws.
DAMPER FIXING
1. Fix the damper in the air outlet adapter.
2. Note: When the damper is well attached, it should open and close freely.
DUCT FIXING
1. Attach an adequate length of 6" (15.2 cm) duct in the recessed area
of the air outlet adapter.
2. Secure the duct connected with the air outlet adapter by using duct tape
to seal the joints.
